  1. Does anyone read logs like this? by Ed+Avis · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't there some more readable way to generate an IRC log? Like joining consecutive utterances by the same person into a single entry, or colour-coding to make it clearer who said what. Maybe it's just because I'm not an experienced IRC user, but these text logfiles seem almost unreadable.

    IRC is not even close to being a semi private protocol. Talking in a channel is more like yelling to be heard in a crowded room more then anything else,

    DCC is a semi private protocol, /msg a bit less so. Channels are public.
